Chapter 3680: Internal strife (1)

Xiao ran shook his head helplessly.”Let’s take it one step at a time. At worst, the spiritual herb will be snatched away. It’s no big deal!”

“That’s the only way. If only boss Lin Yi was here-he might not be able to take on so many people at once, but he’d have a way. ” Qiao hongcai sighed.

Unconsciously, he’d changed from calling Lin Yi “bro Lin” to “boss Lin Yi.” It sounded vulgar, but it was more intimate and respectful.

Xiao ran laughed bitterly.”I wish he wasn’t here. If his medicinal herbs were to be snatched away as well, then we’d really have nothing to gain from this trial.”

“It’s a pity that my herbs will be taken by Meng Tong. Even if boss Lin Yi doesn’t get dragged into this, it’ll be hard for him to get first place. ”

Qiao hongcai sighed in disappointment. His luck in this trial was actually quite good. In less than two days, his points were close to 500. If he didn’t get robbed and handed in his task smoothly, he would have a good chance of getting a good place in the end.

But now, it was all for naught-not only did he not get a single one of those herbs, he even ended up aiding the enemy and becoming Lin Yi’s obstacle.

“Even if Meng Tong gets first place, boss Lin Yi still has a chance to get into the top three, but if they take my share too, I don’t think I’ll even get into the top three. All the more I can’t let them get my elixirs!” Xiao ran looked at the basket on his back and said with a firm expression.

He had been ambushed by Meng Tong’s group later than Qiao hongcai, so he had more time to collect elixirs. Now, he had five hundred and twenty-three points.

In previous years, this result could only be considered average, but this year’s situation was different. Meng Tong’s group had started gathering at noon on the second day of the trial. Although they had successfully snatched Qiao hongcai, it was actually a very risky choice because the time they took to collect elixirs had also been greatly reduced. In other words, their current score situation was not good. It was estimated that only a few could reach the threshold of five hundred!

If he managed to escape in the end, Xiao ran’s five hundred and twenty-three points would most likely rank him in the top five, or even the top three! In this case, even if Meng Tong got first place, Lin Yi and Xiao ran would still get a good place in the end. They would lose everything!

However, if Xiao ran’s points were also taken away, the situation would be very different. After ensuring that Meng Tong was in first place, they could casually split the 500 points. This group of people could easily take the top three!

In that case, not only would Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai get nothing, but even Lin Yi would only get three spiritual jades from fourth to tenth place. Compared to Meng Tong’s huge harvest, this was a tragic sight.

Therefore, Xiao ran couldn’t let Meng Tong’s gang succeed no matter what. This wasn’t just for himself, but also for Lin Yi!

“By the way, did you notice that Meng Tong and Lee Zhengming didn’t bring their baskets?” Xiao ran suddenly asked while they were rushing forward.

Qiao hongcai was stunned for a moment. He thought for a while and said,””I think so, I wouldn’t have noticed if you didn’t mention it! Did boss Lin Yi Rob them of their baskets already? he didn’t even leave them their baskets?”

“That’s impossible. This basket is the property of the back mountain Hall. No mistakes are allowed. Even if you’re allowed to snatch spiritual herbs from each other, you still have to leave your basket. Isn’t your basket still on your back?” Xiao ran pointed at Qiao hongcai’s back.

Although all the spirit herbs had been snatched away, Qiao hongcai was still carrying a basket on his back, but his points were zero.

“That’s true-there’s only one possibility left-they probably hid their baskets before coming out for the herbs. They’re probably afraid of boss Lin Yi and US fighting over them!” Qiao hongcai speculated.

Xiao ran nodded.”I think so too. But the others who were with them all had their elixirs with them. Only the two of them had hidden themselves. How sneaky!”

As the two of them spoke, they had already reached the clearing under the giant tree. They were instantly overjoyed. They had an impression of this giant tree. Being able to reach this place meant that they were not far from the rear Mountain Hall.

However, before the two of them could finish rejoicing, two figures suddenly appeared diagonally in front of them, causing their eyelids to Twitch. The two figures were Meng Tong and Li Zhengming, who had been chasing after him.

“Are you two rabbits? You ran pretty fast, but unfortunately, you still couldn’t escape from my Five Finger Mountain!” Meng Tong laughed evilly as he blocked the way.

Among the new disciples of the pavilion, other than Lin Yi, who was a freak, Lin Yi and Li Zhengming were the strongest. They weren’t as exhausted and injured as Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai, so it wasn’t surprising that they were able to block the way.

In fact, if it weren’t for Xiao ran and his companion running for their lives, they would have been stopped by Meng Tong and the others long ago.

Xiao ran’s heart suddenly sank. He turned around and looked behind him. The other newbies were obviously getting closer and closer. If they were entangled by Meng Tong and the other newbies, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Don’t stop! Leave these two to me!” Before Xiao ran could react, Qiao hongcai had already taken the lead and pounced on Meng Tong and su lingyue.

Xiao ran took a deep breath. He had no other choice but to force his way out.

Looking at the two men quickly approaching him, Meng Tong couldn’t help but laugh contemptuously,”Two idiots who don’t know life and death, you clearly know that you’re courting death, yet you still dare to come to our door! Lee Zhengming, I’ll leave the injured trash Qiao to you. As for Xiao ran, I’ll deal with him myself!”

Li Zhengming glanced at him. At this moment, both Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai were like arrows at the end of their flight. However, there was still a difference between the two of them. The biggest difference was that one had spirit herbs on him, while the other didn ‘t.

At this moment, Meng Tong had a cloth bag tied to his back. In it was the elixir that he had snatched from Qiao hongcai. Now that he had set his eyes on Xiao ran, didn’t this mean that the elixir that he had obtained in the end would still belong to him? he didn’t want to leave any for himself.

“Alright, but I want half of the elixirs on Xiao ran!” Lee Zheng Ming said.

His requirements were not high. From the very beginning, he had never thought of competing with Meng Tong for the first place. As long as he could ensure that the top three would get the foundation building pill, he would be satisfied.

But if Meng Tong didn’t give him any of the elixirs, then this goal would be a bit difficult. After all, there would always be a lucky one in his group, and with a strong enemy like Lin Yi, he might not be able to do it!
